Abstract
The Tropical theme is related to the glistening sunlight and steamy atmosphere. It had Soothing
Wonders in it. Deep green dark jungles contain a wide range of materials. It can be explained as
the sun shone directly on the tropical area but as it was a vivid jungle of mountains the rays of
the sun looked like to be in a turning back position. Lavish Trends, green leafy branches with
aromatic flowers make good designs for innovative ideas. A world of exotic flora with friendly
fabrics can make a good combination. Tropical prints are taking over the summer. The burst of
colors and beauty of wild birds provide a great mixture of soothing effects. Greenery provides a
complete bright color. One of the reasons to choose the tropical theme was to show the issues
caused due to deforestation. About 30% of the earth had been comprised of forests. The wild
green plants are decreasing day by day due to deforestation. People stay busy in their busy
routines. The workload on their nerves affects them. The hummingbirds are becoming rare with
time. So to provide a fresh and peaceful feeling to people tropical theme is being used. The color
palette used in this research work was the Pantone’s colors. Those colors were PMS349,
PMS320, PMS116, PMS675 and PMS485. The mood of the tropical theme clearly showed the
tint palette of natural attractiveness. Those organic colors were truly like botanical wonders.
Tropical designs were devised and prototypes had been manufactured through draping and
pattern and actual garment had been generated. The leaves of Monstera plant, pineapple trees,
and flamingos combined to show a noble design. Crochet work was included in this project.
The microscopic view of leaves showed a structure that looks like a structure that we called as
crochet. Crochet could be used in garments. It was a handmade design made with friendly fabric.
So it provided a cooling effect in summers.
Block printing had been used in this research. Hand block printing was a method to form
blocks, cover them with dye colors, and start producing different structural designs on fabrics.
Digital printing used machines to spread color on the fabric. In the tropical theme, these features
had been used to create a proposal. Those were the type of neckline, v neckline, types of collars,
ruffles, gathers, pleating, shirring, smocking, spaghetti straps, a-line silhouette, and bow.
Hand embroidery was used in the theme of tropical trends. Cross stitches, blanket stitches,
French knots, double running stitch, chain stitch, and backstitch were used mixed media had
been used to show a glamorous and intricate pattern of embellishment with fine threads work,
beaded work, sitari work and zari. Zari work had been used as an embellished pattern made with
threads of different colors. Four types of hot couture had been generated for addressing tropical
designs. That couture included kid wear for the age group of children under five, three women
wear dresses were made. Muslin, shafoon, organza and cotton silk with sheer fabric had been
used. Moringa finish had been used in clothes because Moringa is a natural Anti-Inflammatory
Agent it kills bacteria, Viruses It can be used for Asthma patients, for skin related problems. It
can reduce fine line wrinkles. The objectives that were kept in mind were to incorporate the
technical textile into the fabric surface to create haute couture to aware of the fashion industry
with the benefits of green lands and to give some useful purposes of technical textiles such as in
garments. The main objective was to enhance the capabilities and nerve conductance of people
by providing pleasant design and to share the importance of Moringa to the public.
